Thanks, Sam!

Was lucky enough to get this one and a bunch of other good stuff from Sam. The Untappd description for this one was “Single IPA Double Dry Hopped with Galaxy & Simcoe. This double dry hopped IPA delivers a galaxy of tropical fruit flavor. Brewed with a bunch of oats and whirlpool hopped with simcoe, this IPA is then double dry hopped with galaxy and simcoe hops. Aromas of grapefruit, peach and passion fruit.”

Poured a medium golden hazy color with 5-to-6 fingers of rocky white head. Could see plenty of bubbles coming down the outside of the glass at different speeds. Almost perfect foamy lacing. World-class retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Initially smelled a little old but it was only 39 days. Got a nice mix of Galaxy and Simcoe with neither overpowering the other. Specifically got peach, passion fruit, tropical fruit, pear, grapefruit, papaya, melon, hints of mango, pine and lime. A little better out of the can. (Smell - 3.75)

Tasted about as good as the nose, maybe a smidgeon better. Got Galaxy, viney berry, passion fruit, tropical fruit, pear, hints of apple, peach, grapefruit, papaya, Simcoe, melon, light mango, pine and lime zest. (Taste - 3.75)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average-to-lively carbonation. Long, slightly juicy finish. (Feel - 4.00)

Slightly underrated this but I liked it. Thankful I got to try it. (Overall - 4.00)

Pours a murky golden straw color with good lacing and head. Smell is tropical with fruit . Taste is fruity hopped with melon passion fruit peach and berries. Mouth feel is soft from the oats and dry in the finish more than sweet. . Had a touch of smoke,wood Thought this was good.
